Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have identified 13 metabolites ? small molecules produced by cellular metabolism ? that are significantly different in patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease compared to healthy controls.
Twelve of the 13 metabolites are linked to mitochondrial function, suggesting that suppression of mitochondria ? the powerhouses of cells ? is a fundamental characteristic of diabetic kidney disease. The findings are published in the November edition of the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.
